Thursday March 10, 2022 The Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP) will be hosting the webinar: Complex Humanitarian Emergencies - Where Crisis, conflict, climate, and COVID-19 meet starting at 2:00 p.m. (EST)
Complex humanitarian emergencies (CHEs) are often challenging for U.S.-based funders to understand. Only a small fraction of U.S. philanthropic funding goes to CHEs, yet it’s where the most significant humanitarian needs exist today. The 4Cs – crisis, conflict, climate and COVID-19 – are the heart of the intricate layers of compounding crises in CHEs today.
This webinar is designed to help funders learn about available humanitarian assessments and analyses and how to use these tools to help determine funding priorities. Additionally, we will profile two CHEs – Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo – to highlight examples of the types of help typically needed in these contexts.
